On which planets can I mine sodium using a mineral extractor?

[gameplayer13905]

Hello, I've seen where people are using a mineral extractor to mine sodium but I don't know where they were when doing it. Does anyone know which kind of planet where we can do this?

[Guyver8]

any planet that lists sodium as one of it's resources on the discoveries tab

Probably in a solar system with a YELLOW sun.

There is no particular biome that will have this is a mineable resource. It will appear as one of the three core resource on random planets.

Thank you all

Why do you need so much Sodium?

I have to sell the stuff off periodically, just 'cause it builds up from casual collection.

One full stack of Sodium and one full stack of S. Nitrate can last you for pretty much the entire game.

(OK. I suppose if you are using solely Sodium to power Shields...but pretty soon the large number of Starshield Batteries that you receive as combat rewards, etc, should make THAT unnecessary. And it isn't like Shields won't recharge on their own after combat.)

Edit: On most planets, there is also usually at least one common mineral that is composed ferrite / sodium as primary / secondary components.

I think you meant Marrow Bulb... Refining Star Bulb (or any plant) gives carbon.
